10 month old with pimply rash?

My ten month old daughter has a rash just on her elbows and the outside of her legs. I took her to the docter and she didn't seem to be considered but didn't really tell me what it was. The rash looks like little red bumbs that look like pimples. Does anyone know what this might be. Her one leg is not to bad, but her other leg is almost completely covered on the outside.

It sounds like eczema. My son was diagnosed when he started crawling and his skin was being rubbed and irritated. I use non perfumed lotions on him many times a day as well as a steroid cream on the dry places until he is better. BUT he always has to be lotioned and i have to watch his foods and the amount of baths he has b/c water irritates it.

My 10 month old son has the same thing. It started on his knees when he started crawling a couple months ago but now it is on the outside of his lower legs and right under his diaper on his legs. I thought it was just a rug burn type of this from his pants rubbing against his legs while crawling. I was using Eucerin ointment for a while but that is not even working. It almost looks like a contact rash the way that it is red and pimply, and sometimes it looks so terribly dry. Tonight after his bath I put some corn starch on it to see if that helps. If you find out what it is please post a reply because I would love to know. Our doctor also was not concerned and said that because I have really sensitive skin that he may also and to just put vasoline on it but I had been doing that and it did not help.

I have tried several different things and the rash has not got any better, if anything it is getting worse. I was thinking about taking her to a dermatologist. Have you found anything that has helped yet. She has had this rash for months and I cannot find anything to help.
